The plot about Indra is just not making sense.

Hagoromo said Indra was the type to do everything by himself and that he led a solitary life.

So why would Indra be angry and jealous that his father had not chosen him to be the leader of Ninshu?

Being a leader of ninshu, you gotta be sociable and work with other people.

Indra is not stupid, He had to known this. He shouldn't have given a single F#$K about Asura becoming leader of Ninshu.

Well, if you read Cain and Abel's story, you would have an idea. Indra was jealous that his father chose his Asura over him. It didn't matter what his and Asura's opposing ideals was. They are irrelevant in front the jalousy jealousy that build up when Hagoromo chose Asura.

I think it was said everything Indra did was so he could follow his dad's footsteps. So when the sage chose Ashura Indra then got angry.

:mad:_@: Though not sure.

Because having followers = power

He would have changed the rules of Ninshuu the same way BZ changed the Uchiha tablet

Remember that BZ played a huge role in corrupting Indra and his ideals. He was probably fine with Ashura succeeding but BZ was persuading him to retaliate and start the cycle of hatred.

Nothing in the war arc makes any sense.

I highly doubt that. He was a lone wolf and led a solitary life. So he didn't have his own village or people following him. Who was around that time to cause any trouble for them? There wasn't any need to fight for peace during that time period that we known of.

I just don't see any reason for Indra to give a shit about ninshuu when there was no threats around. Beside, you don't need to be leader to protect what you wanna protect.

Madara knew that the moment tobirama becoming Hokage, his clan is doom and he was right about that. Madara don't care about the title Hokage. He just wanted to protect his clan. Since they turned their back on him, He went like F it. I will force peace upon the world!

That's another thing. There shouldn't have been any way to corrupt a person who practically didn't give a shit about anyone. Unless BZ dressed up as a person that could get close to his heart, I just don't see how it was possible.

How BZ changed the uchiha tablet. You would need a rinnegan to fully read it. So I assume that you will need a rinnegan to change it.

BZ tampered with the tablet. I think it was Hagoromo who noted that someone had messed with its writting and by the looks of it, everything written in the tablet led to all of this.

I'd also dare to say the he may be the one who made it unreadable in the first place. He was the one who needed an Uchiha to awaken the Rinnegan afterall so it isn't a stretch to say that he made it that way to tempt later generations to progress the stages of the sharingan to uncover the "truth".

Okay truth time:-

Ashura made friends. Ashura was a popular fella. So what does this imply? It implies that Ashura was life of the party. Now every girl likes the guy who is centre of attraction. This is why maybe Ashura got laid a lot more.

Now Indra was a loner. This means he probably jerked off and was still a virgin. On the other hand his brother was something like Barney Stinson. Obviously his sexual frustration would have led him to believe that if he killed his brother, he would become the popular one and would therefore be able to get laid.

There now everything should be crystal clear

Yes but at the same time he also believed that power was the key to success, Madara and Indra have shown that there are willing to use people as comrades if they deem their power good enough.

And power is useless if you have no one to use it on so he definitely must have wanted the same amount of influence his father had.

And the Sharingan can also be used for Ninshuu

Maybe Indra thought being successor to ninshuu meant he could protect more people and then realized ninshuu wouldn't end conflicts, if it did when Ashura became successor and used ninshuu,why was there still a war and conflict?

I really wished Kishimoto would have told use more, because there really is to much that just doesn't make sense.
